Yo, it’s General Raikou.  Heres a report from me cuz I finally didn’t have crummy hands or bad luck.  My mom drove me and mah bro to ebArtemis’ House where we quickly looked at his messed up mIRC away system script and then left with his dad to da tourneh.  So here's the deck:

 

Aurora Rage

-----Pokemon (18)

4 Seel

3 Dewgong

3 Doduo

3 Dodrio

2 Igglybuff

1 Pikachu (Neo) Tech

2 Wooper

-----Energy (16)

12 Water Energy

4 Double Colorless Energy 

-----Trainers (26)

3 Professor Elm

4 Professor Oak

3 Gold Berry 

3 Gust of Wind

2 Narrow Gym

4 Energy Removal

2 Bill

2 PlusPower 

3 Nightly Garbage Run

 

Not much strategy to this deck. =/  Obviously stall long enough to get a Dewgong powered up.  If I have to slap a water on doduo, get some damage on doduo and then play dodrio and slap a DCE on to deal some quick damage.  Igglybuff is to counter any Unown N’s around.  Also Neo Pikachu is tech for seel,o r doduo or anything weak to lightning. =/  Now onto the games!

 

There were 20 people when the tournament started, and Roberto couldn’t get in the last spot.

 

Before the tourneh I ate part of an Unown O that was first edition.  I don’t know why but I just wanted to =/.  But hey if that gave meh luck than so be it =/

 

Round 1 vs. Some wack Kadabra Deck

I got a crummy hand and didn’t draw oak til the 10th turn or so.  But I got two dewgongs powered up and knocked out two Base Haunters, two Base Kadabras, and 2 slowpokes for the win.

Record: 1-0 3 points

 

Round 2 vs. Daniel Duterte’s b’s rap, gligar, e’s puff deck =/

Very close game.  I was drawing a lot of crap, but finally got a dewgong going.  I got some lucky flips with the Ice Beam attack and knocked most of his pokemon out.  At the end of the game I had a Dewgong with 60 damage and a Dodrio with 30.  It was against a Gligar.  He had one card in his deck and he also had one prize.  I did Ice Beam and flipped heads…so I won the game. =/ just because of da ice beam flip.

Record: 2-0 6 points

 

Round 3 vs. E’s jig, dark muk

4 letters…..FTKO against me >=/  that friggin pisses me off =/  I played him again and wooped him bad =/.

Record: 2-1 6 points

 

Round 4 vs. Arcy, e’s puff, neo pikachu =/

I thought I’d own this game and I did.  I got Dewgong out early and did some good damage, taking a few prizes.  Eventually he got pikachu out and flipped tails on quick attack so he couldn’t KO my dewgong.  I had gold berry.  After that every time he got a pikachu, I gusted it and Koed it immediately >=/.  Die you stupid little rat >=/.  I won da game finally

Record: 3-1 9 points

 

I traded for a Typhlosion with Fire Recharge during the time between(Typh w/ B’s Arcy > everything, even feraligatr =/)

 

Round 5 vs. Eevee and erika’s puff cheese =/

This kid bragged that he beat from my last unforunate tourneh.  But I turned da tides and wooped in a sweep.  I was able to use wooper to amneisa til I got two dewgongs powered up and washed through his pokemon.  He could never get out a Dark Flareon or Jolteon…..I have to brag to him here too cuz he wouldn’t stop before.. Ha Ha I beat j00 Michael…buwhahah I 0wn j00 =/ 

Record: 4-1 12 points

 

(ok im done bragging, but don’t you ever brag that you beat me or else =/)

 

I won a few promos for winning, nothing spectacular =/.  I got 3rd place over all age categories and 1st in mah 11-14 category.
